My PET scan and blood work are tomorrow too!

Glenn, good to hear from you and I wish you good luck with your scan. Good luck to Michelle,too.

Thanks everyone. She is improving. I believe that any vaccine can cause some reactions that can be severe, but that their benefits still outweigh the potential side-effects they can cause. My wife is getting a bit better every day. In her case it's hard to know what she is feeling because the disease has caused her to suffer from aphasia, so she can't really communicate well. All that being said, I really encourage all of you to get the vaccine. I do not want to hear the terrible news of anyone here passing from this virus. I also mentioned the side-effects I expect because I've got

Good luck to all having scans! G.A.M. great to hear from you!

My friend, I will be with you in spirit when I head to the hospital tomorrow afternoon for all of my scans as well. Happy meds on board of course for the long brain MRI. Good luck to you!

Golfman, Sorry to hear of your recurrence, but am glad to hear that you have a new treatment plan in place. Best of luck to you! Take Care, Namaste Roseann

We are spending gobs of money on COVID research. The pandemic death toll in the US just passed 400,000 souls and that is bad. Or is it? Saying something is bad begs a point of comparison: as in bad compared to what? Let's say deaths from lung cancer. According to the National Institute of Health (NIH), 152,977 perished from lung cancer in FY 2020. Well that is certainty less than COVID deaths but COVID has been killing for only 1 year. Lung cancer has been killing forever. Hopefully a COVID vaccine will take hold and arrest the death rate. I wonder what arrests the lung cancer death rate.

Tom and Michelle you are a couple of rock stars and I admire you both. Those dollars spent for LC are sickening. I need to check out what NC does to contribute to LC research. Lou

Wow! I'm glad I came in a bit late. This way I can give my best wishes and prayers to all three of you getting scans tomorrow. I want good outcomes for all of you and as short wait to know the results as possible. I must have lucked out with my new Oncologist...he scheduled my scans for March 17th and our appointment for the 18th. Considering I have the patience of a hungry lion I couldn't ask for more. Again, good luck to all of you and I'll be watching to hear the results. Lou

Michelle: Good luck tomorrow as well. I will be praying and hoping that your results are outstanding.

Good luck this time around. I hope your scan will be clean and you will enjoy another 3 months of worry free.

Lou T So sorry to hear about your wife's reaction to the vaccine. I hope she continues to improve. And the best of luck to you when you get yours! Take Care, Roseann
